Grannie,
There is not a day that goes by that I don't miss the heck out of you woman. You were always my rock and gave sound advice to every worry that I had along the way.
I hope you are dancing with the Angels every day, watching over all the children and making them some good ol' banana pudding and coconut cream pie!!
Love and miss you....until we meet again,
Kathy

Granny was the best person I ever had in my life. She was the main contributing factor in changing my life to what it is today. I hope I can do for someone what she has done for me.

What I remember most about Emma was just sitting and talking about her amazing doll collection and how we would end up talking about her kids.She was very proud of them.For a time she was a member of Hilltop Baptist church and it was there I saw her desire to help any way she could ,and any time there was a need Emma would do what she could. It is a Blessing to have known her.

I always looked forward to seeing Emma Lee at our Hester family reunion. She would come with Edward and Carol and when we were lucky Becky and her family and a set of twins and their terrific husbands..Genolia and Bobby..Ronny...maybe a few more grandkids. I say lucky because seeing them together was a testament to what a wonderful woman Emma Lee was. Against all odds of what life may have dealt her at times...she created a miracle. A family that loves like no other. A family that sticks together through thick and thin and always shares a laugh and a smile with everyone they come in contact with. I will miss Emma Lee at our reunions but I have great memories of her and the joy she and her family have always brought to us. Those Harpers..they are just good people and we love yall.
